Triio’s Corner Review: Affordable Western Food On Sizzling Hot Plates At Toa Payoh

Triio’s Corner offers cheap Western food including sizzling hot plate dishes, grilled meats, and chicken cutlets. Triio's Corner Review: Affordable Sizzling Hot Plate Western Food At Toa Payoh Food at Triio’s Corner The Chicken Cutlet ($6.50) served at Triio’s Corner was impressive at first look – not only for its rate, but for its sheer size! Even so, the chicken was pounded too thin, compromising the thickness of the cutlet.

Fortunately, the batter was nicely seasoned and crispy, adding a good crunch to every bite. The Mixed Grill ($13.50) was definitely the most value-for-money item on the menu.

For its quotation, I was definitely not expecting four different types of meat to be served. The black pepper sauce that was drizzled over the meats tasted like the sauce from a black pepper crab dish.

Every piece of meat was grilled well but a personal favourite of mine was the chicken. It was so juicy and moist, and since it was at the bottom of the stack, it was well soaked in the sauce.

Onions that were nicely caramelised were generously layered on the base of the hotplate, adding an extra smokey-sweet element that brought all the flavours of the dish nicely together. This dish was served hot and sizzling just like the Mixed Grill. Slicing into the meat was tough and I had to cut through it with some effort – at that point I knew the meat was overcooked.

With every order of a hot plate, not one or two, but four sides were served with it. The sides generally complemented the rich black pepper sauce and helped to balance the flavours and textures of each dish.

Having a closer texture to that of a biscotti, the garlic bread was hard and lacked the garlicky savour that I was expecting. Ambience at Triio’s Corner Triio’s Corner is a humble hawker stall literally situated in a corner of an unassuming kopitiam in Toa Payoh.

Even though it is located outdoors and not air-conditioned, the large fans provided enough ventilation to not leave me feeling sticky at the end of my meal. The verdict Triio’s Corner offers a wide selection of meats, burgers, finger food and kid-friendly choices – so there’s definitely something for everyone!

With flavourful sizzling meats and good seasoning, the meal was satisfying but has got both hits and misses.
